Раиль Махмутов – International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Раиль Махмутов, known in the online chess world as Makhmutov_Rail, a player whose chess prowess is as sharp as a well-honed knight’s fork. Awarded the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE, Раиль is not just a competitor but a tactician who dances elegantly across the 64 squares.
Chess Career & Style
Since at least 2018, Раиль has been crushing opponent after opponent in daily, blitz, bullet, and rapid chess formats. With peak ratings soaring to 2351 in standard daily chess, a blistering 2665 in blitz, 2473 in bullet, and an impressive 2606 in rapid, Раиль’s versatility is simply unmatched.
A fascinating fact about Раиль's style is the impressive 101 games winning streak, a testament to supreme consistency. With a knack for late-game dominance (over 59% frequency of endgames and an average of 58 moves per win), this player’s strategy is a long, contemplative symphony – not a one-move blunder fest. They prefer to wear down opponents with patience and precision, often refusing to resign early (only a 6.12% early resignation rate), proving they fight until every last pawn is pushed.

Even when losing, Раиль bounces back with a comeback rate of about 73%—so don't be surprised if they turn what looks like a lost game into a beautiful victory. Makhmutov_Rail has an unrelenting spirit and a bit of a psychological edge, rarely tilting (tilt factor of 6%) and often crushing Sunday afternoon foes and any opponent brave enough to match them before breakfast.
